I definitely prefer strand 1. I find that I wear my darker tahitian pearls more often. I also much prefer the size. I actually really like the rings on baroque pearls (called rings of life), so the more pronounced the better IMO.
I also like the way #1 looks on you.
the center pearl in #2 is not acceptable IMO.
